Cristian deflected the slash and clashed with Leoric. "You again," he hissed, staring at the man covered in a black robe. The man coiled his hand around his sword, back in its sheath.
"On opposite sides once again. This time there will be no escape." Leoric said. Cristian squinted but before he could react, Leoric drew the sword at his waist. A quick, lethal slash slashed open Cristian's chest and he found himself crashing several times into the sea.
Freezing the water, he landed on all fours. "That hurt," he mused, looking down at the wound that quickly healed, leaving behind a red line.
"Still alive." Leoric gasped, his voice indicating his shock. Heck, the skill he used wasn't something he could repeat except he put his sword back in his sheath and Cristian wasn't dumb enough to fall for the same move again.
